Safety Precautions
Introduction
04
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the wrist strap has a good
skin contact and is well grounded.
Before cleaning the device, cut off the power supply. Do not clean it by the waterish
cloth, and never use any other liquid cleaning method.
Site Requirements
Temperature/Humidity
Please keep a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Too high/low
humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes
and corrosions. Too high temperature may accelerate aging of the insulation materials
and can thus significantly shorten the service life of the device. For normal temperature
and humidity of the device, please check the following table.
Environment
Temperature
Humidity
Operating
0 ~ 40
Storage
-40 ~ 70
5% ~ 90%RH Non-condensing
Clearness
The dust accumulated on the device can be absorbed by static electricity and result
in poor contact of metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the
device to prevent static electricity, but too strong static electricity can cause deadly
damage to the electronic elements on the internal circuit board. To avoid the effect of
static electricity on the operation of the device, please attach much importance to the
following items:
Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
Keep the device well grounded and ensure static electricity has been transferred.
Electromagnetic Interference
Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be affected
by external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling,
inductance coupling, and impedance coupling. To decrease the interferences, please
make sure to take the following measures:
Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid.
Keep the device far from high-frequency, strong-current devices, such as radio
transmitting station.
Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
Installation
05
Lightening Protection
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and the air
in the electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to 20,000. As this instant current
is strong enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning protection measures
should be taken.
Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground.
Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoor.
Installation Site
S
When installing the device on a rack or a flat workbench, please note the following
items:
The rack or workbench is flat and stable, and sturdy enough to support the weight
of 5.5kg at least.
The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system. The equipment room is well
ventilated.
The rack is well grounded. Keep the power socket less than 1.5 meters away from
the device.

Caution:
Please set 5~10cm gaps around the device for air circulation.
Please avoid any heavy thing placed on the device.
Please mount devices in sequence from the bottom to top of the rack and ensure a
certain clearance between devices for the purpose of heat dissipation.
08
Installation
Its not allowed cabling down the building to connect network devices in different
floors.
Outdoor cables should be buried and paved to the indoor through basement. A
piece of steel wire should be paved underground along the pipe and connected to
the lightning protection terminal of the building for shielding. Before connecting the
cable to the device, install a signal lightning arrester on the corresponding port.
When an aerial cable is set up, the cable should be through a metal pipe (15m long
at least) before coming into the building. The two ends of this metal pipe should
be grounded. Before connecting the cable to the device, install a signal lightning
arrester on the corresponding port.
Its not necessary to pave STP cables through pipes. The shielded layer of STP cable
should be well grounded. Before connecting the cable to the device, install a signal
lightning arrester on the corresponding port.
Lightning Protection
09
When cabling indoors, keep a certain distance away from the devices that may cause
high-frequency interferences, such as down-conductor cable, powerline, power
transformer and electromotor.
The main cable should be paved in the metal raceway of the access shaft. When
cabling, keep the loop area formed by the cable itself as small as possible.
Requirements for the distance between Ethernet cable and other pipelines are
shown in the table.

Note: The grounding bar and the ground cable are not provided with our product. If
needed, please self purchase them.
If the device is installed in the normal environment, the device can be grounded via the
PE (Protecting Earth) cable of the AC power supply as shown in the following figure.
Note:
The figure is to illustrate the application and principle. The power plug you get from
the package and the socket in your situation will comply with the regulation in your
country, so they may differ from the figure above.
If you intend to connect the device to the ground via the PE (Protecting Earth) cable
of AC power cord, please make sure the PE (Protecting Earth) cable in the electrical
outlet is well grounded in advance.

13
Signal lightning arrester is used to protect RJ45 ports of the device from lightning.
When cabling outdoors, please install a signal lightning arrester before connecting the
cable to the device.
When purchasing or using a signal lightning arrester, please observe the following
rules:
The port rate of the signal lightning arrester should match the rate of the desired
port on the device. If it is not matched, this signal lighting arrester will not work.
Purchase a standard lightning arrester.
Install signal lightning arrester near the protected device and connect it to the
ground via a shorter ground cable.
